I really enjoyed this book when it came out. While I didn't agree with some of the conclusions or content, it was certainly thought provoking.
Interestingly though, it frames the US as a global bully, when I suspect most people today would think that the US is being bullied by Russia. The talk of the role of the US media is interesting too, although it certainly looks way more bipartisan now than it was then, so I am not sure if that is quite so relevant.
It is certainly a negative take on the US foreign policy, but ironically, a return to the kind of approach that the author accuses them of, might well be a good thing today for the people of Ukraine?
Perhaps worth a read again now after the past couple of weeks.
Has anyone read it?
